Best broadband plans in Singapore for 2024
High-speed internet is a vital part of daily life in Singapore, whether for work, play or simply staying connected. There are 5 major Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Singapore – Singtel, StarHub, M1, Simba and MyRepublic. Each offers multiple broadband plans and choosing the right one can be quite confusing.
Here is our guide to the best broadband plans in Singapore, including prices, speed and bundled hardware.
1. Singtel Fibre Broadband Plans
Singtel is Singapore’s oldest and most established telco. Its current broadband plans are all significantly discounted, giving you a good mix of reliability and affordability. You also get the super-speed latest Wi-Fi technology which provides download speeds of up to 10Gbps.
Singtel is considered a very reliable broadband plan provider but their prices are generally the highest considering contract period, bandwidth and Wi-Fi technology. In return, you get the confidence of knowing it’s Singtel, after all.
Plan Name | Speed | Monthly | Additional Benefits |
2Gbps Enhanced Plan | 2 Gbps | S$42.90 (S$55.90) | AX5400 device (WiFi 6) |
2Gbps Mesh | S$49.26 (S$74.26) | 2x AX5400 Mesh Extenders (WiFi 6) | |
5Gbps Enhanced (WiFi 6) | 5 Gbps | S$49.90 (S$95.50) | XGS-PON Optical Network Router & AX5400 device (WiFi 6) |
5Gbps Enhanced (WiFi 7) | S$65.90 (S$95.90) | XGS-PON Optical Network Router & TP-Link BE22000 WiFi 7 Router | |
10Gbps Enhanced (WiFi 6) | 10 Gbps | S$66.00 (S$139.00) | XGS-PON Optical Network Router & AX5400 device |
10Gbps Enhanced (WiFi 7) | S$79.00 (S$155.80) | XGS-PON Optical Network Router & TP-Link BE22000 WiFi 7 Router |
*Usual Price in brackets
These are all 24-month broadband plans and all come with S$0 setup fees. Included in these Singtel Home Broadband plans are:
Home line

Weekday/weekend router installation waiver worth up to S$147.71 (Online exclusive)

2. M1 Home Broadband Plans
Another established name in Singapore telecoms, M1 is the only one of the major providers that still offers 500Mbps broadband plans. Their fastest plan tops out at 2Gbps, making it the network with the lowest speed capabilities here. Its no-frills plans are affordable but still not the cheapest.
Plan Name | Speed | Monthly Cost* | Additional Benefits |
HomePac 500Mbps** | 500 Mbps | S$40.65 | Short-term contract plan |
HomePac 500Mbps | 500 Mbps | S$30.45 | Most affordable |
HomePac 1Gbps** | 1 Gbps | S$50.84 | Short-term contract plan |
GamePRO 1Gbps | 1 Gbps | S$52.97 | Free ASUS TUF Gaming Router AX5400 (worth S$399), For gamers |
HomePac 1Gbps | 1 Gbps | S$36.84 (S$40.65) | Choose 1 for free: TP-Link Archer AX72 (worth S$195) or ASUS RT-AX3000P (worth S$259), Most popular |
HomePac 2Gbps (1+1Gbps) | 2 Gbps | S$39.00 (S$64.50) | Choose 1 for free: TP-Link Archer AX72 (worth S$195) or ASUS RT-AX3000P (worth S$259) |
*Usual Price in brackets; **12-month plan
There are no setup fees for all except the HomePac 500Mbps plan, but only on weekends when it costs S$31.73.
All 24-month M1 Home Broadband plans come with Home Fixed Voice Service and Mobile Broadband (Bespoke SurfValue) while all 12-month plans come with Home Fixed Voice Service.

3. Starhub Home Broadband Plans
Rounding up the Big 3 of the Singapore telcoms scene is Starhub. They have a very simple selection of 3 main broadband plans, with the slowest being 2Gbps and the fastest, 10Gbps.
Plan Name | Speed | Monthly Cost | Additional Benefits |
UltraSpeed 10Gbps | 10 Gbps | S$69.95 | 1 FREE TP-Link EB810v router (WiFi 7), Premier League for 24 mths, Disney+ Standard for 12 mths, Amazon Prime for 3 mths |
UltraSpeed 5Gbps | 5 Gbps | S$45.00 | 1 FREE 10Gbps Optical Network Router (WiFi 6), Amazon Prime for 3 mths |
2Gbps | 2 Gbps | S$39.00 | 1 FREE Linksys MX2 Mesh router (WiFi 6), Amazon Prime for 3 mths |
The 24-month 10Gbps Wi-Fi 7 plan costs S$69.95 as compared to Singtel’s S$79 for the same selection. Only MyRepublic has their 2-year 10Gbps Wi-Fi 7 at a lower price (from S$59.99) so the decision comes down to which you believe can provide the better service in the long run for the price.

4. Simba Home Broadband Plans
Simba is a bit of an enigma as their home broadband landing page is exceedingly basic. The yellow poster above is pretty much it, with links to FAQs below that. I tried to find out more using the ‘Sign up now’ link but that immediately requires login through Singpass.
Simba stands out for its short-term, no-contract broadband plans. They are billed every 30 days and do not tie you in to a contract. Another feature is that you can suspend your service for up to 6 months. However, this comes with a one-time activation cost and monthly fees.
Here is a tabulated summary with the information provided.
Plan Name | Speed | Monthly Cost | Setup Fees | Duration | Additional Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
10Gbps Broadband | 10 Gbps | S$29.99 / 30 days (with GST) | Waived NLT Service Activation fee worth S$61.04 | 30 days | FREE ONT device worth S$118 |
2.5Gbps Broadband | 2.5 Gbps | S$29.99 / 30 days (with GST) | Waived NLT Service Activation fee worth S$61.04 | 30 days | FREE ONT device worth S$50, FREE upgrade to 10Gbps Broadband & 10Gbps ONT device worth S$118 |
There is a 2.5Gbps plan which is immediately upgraded to a 10Gbps plan… so there is only 1 plan – the 10Gbps one. At S$29.99 for 10Gbps, it’s a killer deal at less than half the price of the other providers.

5. MyRepublic Home Broadband Plans
It may be the newest player on the block but MyRepublic is definitely not going for the budget crowd.
They have several gamer-focused plans and their Wi-Fi 7 Unleashed (S$59.99) gives you 10Gbps speeds, which makes it slightly cheaper than Singtel’s equivalent plan but double that of Simba’s. The difference is the quality bundled hardware, which you can see in the table below.
MyRepublic lets you choose the same base plan but bundle it with the devices that best fit your speed and home layout (router) needs.
Plan Name | Speed | Monthly Cost | Setup Fees | Duration | Additional Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Wi-Fi 7 Unleashed | 10 Gbps | S$59.99 | S$0 | 24 months | Top up S$50 for TP-Link Archer BE805 Wi-Fi 7 router (worth S$799), FREE Home Phone Line with unlimited local calls |
